Blasting into 2019 be like... - This drawing, “The High-Flying Heavy Sleeper”, is back in my hands after being on loan for a while. It’s a few years old and I haven't seen it in a while. It’s nice to see old work and think about the choices that were made then and think about how I would accomplish similar things now. And it's super humbling to reflect where I was then vs now. Tis is life. Kinda pertinent as 2018 draws (2019 might see the resurgence of puns) to a close. See y’all on the other side. - #drawing #draw #drawings #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism #circus #humancannonball #cannonball #🚀 (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsD36d0HTdb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18n662aq2d8rv

Very excited to see what @jordanpeele does in 2019. He has gone from "that dude on #MadTV" to #Renaissanceman. Stay funny, but also do horror films, but continue to do socially/culturally relevant projects. You got this 😅 - #jordanpeele #getout #us #candyman #thelastog #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism #pentelbrushpen #pentel #brushpen #hatching #crosshatching (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-sRndHgJ1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w68mlix3kv11

Tonight 12/21 6-10pm at @littledameshop I have the pleasure of presenting some new paintings. From a new series, called simply "portal painting", I hope to give you all a snapshot into a new dimension. Trippy I know. Portals on portals people! Please swipe through to see all 7 paintings. They are handmade goodness presented inside 1" thick Baltic birch plywood. These were super fun to make and I wish cutting holes in wood was easier 😅. To those I don't see tonight, happy holidays! To everyone else, I'll have the spiked hot cider warm and ready! 🎊🎊🍾🍾 - Please contact @littledameshop for purchasing! - (at Little Dame Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqM44DHX9E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k5k4dxsf03p

Looking back on some old drawings 👀👀👀. This one is from 2016 and titled "Chewie Breaks the Internet". This is for all of you that didn't know you needed a mash up of @kimkardashian and @starwars. I'm going to make this into a sticker because you didn't know you needed this on your laptop 😏🌈 - #chewbacca #kimkardashian #starwars #drawing #draw #drawings #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brfp1DEHowg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n39e4b5v66b1

Drew this stylized Mos Def portrait last night at @sketchpartysd. He’s really the artist that solidified my love and interest in hip hop through the late 90s. It was fun to hang and see all da homies too! - #mosdef #yasiinbey #blackstar #hiphop #drawing #draw #drawings #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism #penandink #brushpen #sandiegoart (at Whistle Stop Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrS4McLHxSW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hlhi4t428pmb

Pretty sure Freddie Mercury is the reason Glamour Shots ever existed. Here is a quick one of the Queen frontman while I get back into the groove. Anyone have any thoughts about Bohemian Rhapsody? I haven’t seen it yet. - #bohemianrhapsody #queen #freddiemercury #glamourshots #starshots #painting #digitalart #digitalpainting #drawntoipadpro #applepencil #procreate #procreateapp #drawing #draw #drawings #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqx1TZKnZaI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ek3r45s5zw2q

A little stylized #lisalefteyelopes for you guys. She was my favorite member of TLC and I would listen to CrazySexyCool more than I should admit. The 90s seem so long ago lol. - #drawing #draw #drawings #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphite #graphitedrawing #realism #tlc (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqP8F9HH9zO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t9wu3s5j6mu5

I can't think of one person I owe my livelyhood more to than Stan "The Man" Lee. Such a steady, positive figure in the world I grew up in.

A hefty work in progress for y’all. I don’t draw/paint animals much. There is definitely a learning curve, but it’s definitely fun because this is a freaking DINOSAUR 🌴🦖🌴 Nerding out while looking forward to colorizing her. - #jurassicpark #trex #tyrannosaurusrex #painting #digitalart #digitalpainting #drawntoipadpro #applepencil #procreate #procreateapp (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpR_JGvHaqo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gs2557p0a3lz
